but our salaries are the same";
and "Can discontented

The demonstrators were
drawn mainly from among the
600 members f the BaTelCo
branch of the .khamas Public
Services Union (BPSU), but a
number of non-union
employees a marched.
BaTelCo emploit about 900

The demonstrators walked
in double file around the

BaTelCo administrative offices
in the Chase Manhatten Trust
building opposite Government
High School.
Discipline was good. When a
car driving north on Thompson
Boulevard spun out of control
and came to a stop about 30
feet from the line of marchers,
only about six people broke
away from the line for a closer
look.

requested a meeting

discuss the problem.
However, a spokesman said

The demonstrating workers
charged that since their wage
agreement with management
expired on June 30 last year,
management has refused to
negotiate for a replacement
REJECTION
A spokesman said the union
submitted a proposal for a new'
wage structure at about the
time of the. expiration.
Management is said to have
rejected the demands "because
to them they were
ununreasonable," and have
refused to submit a
counter-proposal because "the
coproration's h@nds arq, tied
and there is no Money for basic
salary increases," according to
a spokesman for the workers.
The sources said on April 27
Mr. Bridgewater again wrote
management requesting a wage

"Instead of being presented
with a proposal we ware

at 3 p.m. to discuss the matter.
However, at the meeting we
were told quite bluntly that
management's position is the
same, management's hands are
tied."
Management reportedly
issued memoranda on the
dispute to all staff members on
May 2 and 4. The May 2
memo was described as being
"as misleading as putting a
blindfold on a donkey and
then lashing him with a whip".
The May 4 memo was
allegedly "another misleading
document printed and
circulated with the sole
purpose of confusing and
intimidating the staff."
NO COMMENT
The contents of the memos
are not known. BaTelCo public
relations director Errol Leach
told The Tribune management
had "no comment" on the
demonstrations.
General Manager A. E.
Curling's secretary said he was
not in his office. Deputy
General Manager Carl Bethel
was not in his office.
At about 10:30 Mr.
Darling and several other
officers left the demonstrators
and went into the
administration building, where
they spent nearly an hour with
management.
At about 11:40 BaTelCo's
acting Assistant General

The letter was read over a

BISHOP TO

CONFERENCE

IN ANTIGUA
THE RT. Rev. Michael
Eldon and Senator Orville
Turnquest, bishop and
chancellor respectively of the
Diocese of Nassau and the
Bahamas, left Nassau this
morning for a week-long
meeting in Antigua of an
Anglican Provincial committee
on doctrinal and theological
education.
Matters to be discussed
include the ordination of
women to the Anglican
ministry, and the Church's
position on marriage, divorce
and re-marriage.
The 74th Bahamas Anglican
Synod held in Nassau last week
referred the question of
women in the priesthood to
the parish level for diocesan
discussion.,
The question of marriage,
divorce and re-marriage, while
also being sent to the parish
level for discussion, was
mentioned also by Bishop
Eldon in a press conference last
Thursday following the Synod.
He said the Church presently
does not recognize divorce, and
no divorced person can
presently be re-married in the
Church.
However, recognizing that
there is civil divorce, Bishop
Eldon saw the need for revision
of existing Bahamian laws,
under whidh the only ground
of divorce is the commission of
adultery. .
It was noted that a married
couple may be genuinely
incompatable and therefore
might want a divorce, but
neither party is willing to
commit adultery to obtain the
divorce. Adultery is a sin, it
was pointed out, so practising
Christians must commit a sin in
order to obtain a divorce under
civil law.

the ship, The Miami Herald reported today.

The passengers cancelled
their voyages to Freeport
Sunday when they learned
they were not to travel on the
plush, 1,050 passenger
Freeport but on the
22-year-old, 500 passenger
Arladne.
The first Freeport was sold
to a Finnish line for $14
million and is now in Europe
cruising between Helsinki and
Stockholm.
The Ariadne, according to
Jerry Granger, vice President of
Bahama Cruise Lines, was
purchased to make the
Freeport's trips until a new
cruiser arrives in Miami.
The Herald said, however,
that some irate passengers
Sunday claimed they never
were told they would not sail
on the original Freeport.
NO LUXURY
One passenger, Charles
Smuckler, who with his wife
was among those who refused
to sail, said the rooms were
dirty and that there was
nothing luxurious about the
ship.
The Smucklers had flown
from Jackson, Miss. to Miami
for their vacation aboard a
luxury Iser.
But instead of luxury, they
told The Herald, they boarded
"a ship where the water and
lights didn't operate and where
the crew didn't know their way
around."
The Smucklers rushed off
the ship minutes before its
5:30 p.m. departure from the
Port of Miami.
Before departure of the
Ariadne, Mr. Granger told a
Herald porterr there had been
no Otnc ellations or
complaints from passengers
about the ship. But Laura
Marks, a Bahamas Cruise Lines
secretary, reportedly said later
23 of the 300 passengers had
cancelled "because they said
the ship was cruddy."
Mr. Granger put up several
of the disgruntled passengers,
Bahamas Cruise Line sources
said, in the Cadillac Hotel on
Miami Beach until other
irrangMnt s could be made.
Rufuads were also given, the
sources mid.

"But it still isn't right," Mr.
Smuckler said from his hotel
room. He said he planned to
complain to the Chamber of
Commerce.
According to The Herald Mr.
Granger sailed with the ship to
Freeport and could not be
contacted to explain the
seeming conflict between his
statements and those of the
passengers.
The Arladne-m.v. Freeport
II was purchased from
Chandris American Lines by
Lib/Go, a subsidiary of New
York-based Liberty Travel and
is under charter to Bahama
Cruise Lines.
She is expected to remain in
Florida-Bahamas service
through mid-May when she is
scheduled to be transferred to
service in the Mediterranean.
A Bahama Cruise Lines
spokesman said the ship was
put in operation to assure there
would be no disruption of
service to Nassau and Freeport,
Grand Bahama.

THE GRAND Bahama
branch of the Bahamas Hotel
and Canring workers Union
ha*, ta|en exception to a.
stamn'ent by Lafayette stowe
manager P. Bachet that the
union has no right to represent
the employees at Freeport's
Lafayette store.
"Under our constitution we
are permitted to represent all
categories of catering and that
includes shops," branch
chairman Hurie Bodie said
today.
Mr. Bodie thought it
presumptions that Mr. Bachet,
himself an employee, should
come into the country and try
to make terms and conditions
for Bahamian employees,
which he had no right to do.
He maintained that the word
"catering" was the operative
one in the union's name and
that it was on this basis that
the union was in a position to
speak for the employees of
Lafayette.
Prompted by the dismissal
of a. female employee from
Lafayette, the union issued a
tough press statement Saturday
criticizing the "incompetency"
of the Ministry of Labour and
the "dictatorial attitudes" of
Minister Clifford Darling.
It said that it had applied
through the Ministry more
than a month ago for a
recognition agreement with the
Crystal Seas Group, parent
company of Lafayette.
NO EXPLANATION
Union representatives Bodie
and branch secretary Leo
Douglas said no explanation
had been given for the
dismissal of Miss Shirley Pinder
nor had there been any
advance made in obtaining
recognition.
Mr. Bachet subsequently
told The Tribune that he had
given the union an explanation
for Miss Pinder's dismissal
although he did not have to do
so as there was no recognition
agreement in effect.
He said it was the opinion of
Lafayette Crystal Seas and the
company's lawyers that the
union is "a hotel restaurant
and catering workers union,
and we are a store. They have
no right to represent our
employees."
The union is presently
planning a mass meeting this
week to bring all workers up to
date. Warning of possible
repercussions if the case of
Miss Pinder was not set right,
the union said it could not
guarantee what the outcome
might be.
NIXON RELAXES HERE
GRAND CAY, BAHAMAS
(AP)- President Nixon,
continuing to wrestle with a
crisis in his political life over
the Watergate matter, sought
relaxation Sunday on this
Bahamian island.

BODY PULLED

FROM PLANE

FOUND CRASHED

OFF CHUB CAY

THE PARTLY decomposed
body of a man, recovered from
the waters off Chub Cay near
the wreckage of a submerged
aircraft, was brought to Nmau1
Sunday after police and
members of the Bahamas Air
Sea Rescue Association started
search and rescue operations
for the occupants of
the aircraft.
The search for other possible
victims of the plane crash,
reported to police by a pilot
from Great Harbour Cay, is
being continued by members
of the Criminal Investigation
Department.
A police spokesman said this
morning that "it is not yet
determined whether there was
only one person aboard the
aircraft," or from where the
plane was coming.
The body was removed from
four feet of water near the
wreckage, which was located
just four miles off Chub Cay, lie
said. The spokesman added
that the aircraft was destroyed.
No trace has as yet been found
of its licence registration
number although it is believed
to be from the U.S.
Declining to comment on
reports that the aircraft also
had on board shipment of
marijuana, the spokesman said
the recovered body was that of
S"a white male between the ages
of 25 and 30 years."
The body was taken to the
mortuary of the Princess
Margaret Hospital where a post
mortem is expected to be
performed sometime later.
REPORTS
Other reliable sources have,
however, said that from the
incident, it has been gathered
that "the aircraft contained a
sizeable load of marijuana" and
that "judging from the state of
decomposition of the
recovered body, it was likely it
had been there for about two
days.
"The plane was totally
destroyed, even to the point of
not being able to determine
what make it was," the source
said.
Police are continuing their
investigations into the plane
crash.

ISRAEL MARKS 25th BIRTHDAY WITH MILITARY PARADE
JERUSALEM (AP) Israel marked its 25th year as a nation today with
a three-hour display of military force, despite criticism at home and
abroad. Included in the parade were Soviet-made tanks captured in 1967
and remodelled by the Israelis, as well as U.S.-made helicopters and a new
Israeli armored halft-track mounted with anti-aircraft guns.
The United Nations had asked that the parade be cancelled because part
of the route lay through Arab sections of Jerusalem captured in the 1967
war. Many Israelis contended that the more than four and one-half million
dollars spent on the display could have gone for social welfare.
HOOVER'S OUSTER STOPPED ON EXPOSURE THREAT
NEW YORK (AP) Published reports indicate White House efforts to
remove J. Edgar Hoover from his F.B.I. post were frustrated when Hoover
threatened to reveal wiretaps allegedly authorized by President Nixon, and
"Time" magazine says it has learned the results of the wiretaps
subsequently disappeared from F.B.I. files.
According to the report. Hoover sot executive authorization in 1969 to
tap the telephones of two reporters and four White House aides to plug
leaks of military information. It is said that in 1971, the White House
decided to oust Hoover, but the F.B.I. Director threatened to reveal the
taps. No further moves were made against Hoover, but he later found his
records of the bugging had disappeared.
DEAN CLAIMS NIXON KNEW ABOUT COVERUP
WASHINGTON (AlP) Former White House lawyer John Dean-

for camouflaging an alleged White House coverup of the Watergate scandal.

both said the alleged exchange occurred during a meeting involving another
White House aide.
Time claims former presidential adviser John Erlichman was present at
the meeting, and Newsweek quotes Dean as saying former White House
staff chief H. R. Haldeman was present.
A legal source close to the case said Dean released the information in
efforts to win immunity from prosecution. The source claims Dean has
additional information and documents to back his charges (e SEE STORY

testify Nixon praisedWATERGATE

him over cover-up

magazines say ousted White House counsel John W. Dean III is
prepared to testify that President Nixon personally congratulated
him last September for covering up administration involvement in
the Watergate incident.

WAS JUDGE

COMPROMISED

IN PENTAGON

PAPERS CASE?
By Linda Deutsch
LOS ANGELES (AP)
Judge Matt Byrne is expected
to disclose today the contents
of an affidavit by former White
House aide Egil Krogh in
efforts to clarify reports
linking the Pentagon Papers
trial to the Watergate affair.
Convicted Watergate
conspirator E. Howard Hunt
has said Krogh ordered a
break-in at the office of the
psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg,
a defendant in the Pentagon
Papers trial in U.S. district
court here. Krogh is on leave
from his job as Undersecretary
of Transportation.
Further complicating the
cas', attorneys for defendants
Ellsberg and Anthony Russo
say they are considering asking
the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of
Appeal to throw out the
Pentagon Papers indictment on
grounds the judge was
"compromised."
They have complained
because a now-resigned
presidential adviser, John D.
Ehrlichman, recently discussed
the possibility of Byrne's
becoming FBI Director.
And Judge Byrne,
confronted by what he calls
"crucial legal problems," still is
considering declaring a mistrial
or dismissal of charges.
But he had indicated that no
amount of official wrongdoing
would sway his considering the
central legal issue: was any
illegal evidence used by the
Justice Department in the
prosecution of Ellsberg and
Russo?
"The issue is the effect on
the case, the effect on the
rights of the defendants," the
judge said Friday.
Ellsberg and Russo have
been charged with espionage,
conspiracy and theft for
copying the Pentagon's top
secret study of the Vietnam
War.
Pressing for a jury verdict,
prosecutor David Nissen has
said he will show that the
Justice Department never used
"tainted evidence." The
defense attorneys insist that
never could be known for sure.
Defense attorneys said
Sunday that they will go to a
federal appeals court to ask
that the charges against
Ellsberg and Russo be
dismissed immediately on
grounds that the White House
tried to compromise the judge.
The attorneys said they were
working on a petition for writ
of mandamus to be filed
Monday with the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeal. They
said they would ask the court
to order U.S. district court
judge Matt Byrne to dismiss
the charges of espionage,
conspiracy and theft against
Ellsberg and Russo.
The appeal to the higher
court comes after Byrne
refused on Friday to dismiss
the case. The dismissal motion
was based on the defense's
contention that Byrne had
been prejudiced during the trial
by a White House offer to
consider Byrne for the post of
FBI Director.
Byrne is still considering the
possibility of dismissal of the
case because of a link between
the controversial Watergate
Incident in Washington and a
burglary at the office of
KUsberg's psychiatrist.
ADMISSION
Byrne has announced in
court all details of the meeting,
attempting to set the record
straight. He said that at
Ehrlichman's request he visited
the Western White House on
April 5 and was approached
about becoming FBI Director.

Byrne said he refused to
consider the position while the
Pentagon Papers trial was going
on. He said he had no
discussion about the trial with
Ehrlichman or with President
Nixon, whom he met briefly.
Later. Byrne revealed that
he was contacted again by
Ehrlichman and met again with
the presidential adviser on
April 7 at an unspecified
location in Santa Monica.

Time and Newsweek gave
slightly different accounts, but
both said Nixon's purported
remarks came in a meeting
among the President, Dean and
another top White House aide.
Newsweek quoted Dean as
saying Nixon was in the Oval
Office with Dean and White
House chief of staff H. R.
"Bob" Haldeman when the
President said: "Good job,
John. Bob told me what a great
job you've been doing."
Time's version said Nixon,
Dean and the President's
domestic-affairs adviser, John
D. Ehrlichman, were present
and that Nixon said: "John
here tells me you've been doing
fine work."
Neither magazine, in
announcing the stories would
be forthcoming, identified its
source.
However, one legal source
who has been close to the
Watergate case, said the
"tidbits" Dean reportedly gave
government investigators were
used as bait in an effort to win
the 34-year-old lawyer
immunity from prosecution.
Dean has told them he has
other evidence, including White
House documents, to
substantiate his claims, the
source said.
PAPERS TAKEN
The documents presumably
are the 43-page volume and
eight supporting papers that
Dean's lawyer described Friday
in U.S. district court here.
Dean gave the keys to a
safe-deposit box to chief judge
John J. Sirica, saying the box
contains the classified
documents taken from the
White House to prevent their
being destroyed.
The source said the
government has refused ito
grant Dean immunity in
exchange for his testimony.
Another observer said Dean,
fired by Nixon a week ago, still
may waive his right to the
constitutional protection
against self-incrimination even
if he fails to win immunity.
"if he goes before the
(Senate Watergate) committee
and creates a tremendous
sensation by implicating
everybody in the White House
on national television," the
lawyer said, "hell be able to
claim he could never get a fair
trial because of all the pretrial
publicity".
Sen. Lowell P. Welcker Jr.,
(R-Conn.) disclosed Friday
that he met secretly with Dean
Thursday evening and later
arranged with Watergate
committee leaders to have
Dean come before the panel at
"the earliest possible time."
Weicker is on record
favouring immunity for the
former White House counsel,
but he said that issue didn't
come up in nearly three hours
of secret talks.
The Senator refused to
disclose the substance of the
meeting but said Dean gave
him no information on which
"to go ahead and implicate the
President."

WASHINGTON (AP)- Sen.
Edward Gurney, (R-Fla.) called
Sunday for quick action to
"run the culprits to ground" in
the Watergate case, saying a
governmental crisis is at hand.
He said handing the
investigation over to an outside
prosecutor would delay
matters too long. Instead, he
said, Atty. Gen.-Designate
7:1;.,! L. Richardson should
retain controll but name an
outside incetigator to help
him.
"What we need now is
action," Gurney said. "We have
a governmental crisis at hand in
this country. The presidency of
the United States is indeed sort
of adrift, like a ship with its
sails torn by a storm and
without a rudder."
He said the crisis won't be
eased "in the eyes of the
people or of the world until we
uncover all of he so-called
Watergate mess, run the
culprits to ground, indict them
and prosecute them."
Sen. John Tunney, (D-Caif.
appearing with Gurney on the
CBS Face the Nation
television programme, said

Richardson was obligated to
President Nixon for four high
government jobs in the past
four years and couldn't
convince the public he could
impartially investigate
challenges to the integrity of
the President and his top aides.
He also cautioned against
undue haste in investigating the
bugging of the Democratic
National Committee at its
Watergate headquarters and
related issues.
It was a mistake, for
instance, he said, to indict
Watergate defendant Donald
Segretti so quickly so that the
Senate Watergate committee
now is precluded from
questioning him. Segretti was
indicted last week in Florida
on charges of writing fake
letters questioning the sexual
morality of two Democratic
pr. .r='al candidates in last
year's election.
Both. Senators criticized as
"highly improper" the White
House approach to U.S. district
judge Matthew Byrne about

'RUN TO GROOU'

JERUSALEM (AP) larael
ended a Memorial Day for its war
dead Sunday night and turned on
the bright lights and music for its
25th Independence Anniversary
that will climax with the country's
biggest military parade.
With traditional abruptness, the
sad bugles went silent, the national
flag was raised from half4taff and a
choir of youths sani "Sisu et
Yerushalaylm, Gilu ba," or
"Rejoice In Jerusalem, make it
merry."
Memorial Day closed on
Jerusalem's Mt. Herzl, burial place
of the father of Zionism, Theodor
Herzl, and the country came
sparkle with coloured lights,
pennants and music blaring from
loudspeakers.
Crowds began filling Jerusalem's
centre to dance, sing and get
happily drunk in honour of their
country's 25th birthday.
More than 300,000 Israelis were
expected to watch their armed
forces march through Jerusalem on
Monday, showing off more aerial
and armoured muscle than in any
parade since 1948.
The parade will pan through
Arab and Jewish Jerusalem despite,
protests from Jordan, a U.N.
request to cancel it and opposition
by some Israelis who think the
$4.76 million spent on the event
could be better used for social
welfare.
But chief of staff Lt. Gen. David
Elazer countered: "The Jews want
to see the strength that protects
them."
Amid the rejoicing were constant
reminders that war still threatens
the Middle East as it did in 1948
when Israel proclaimed itself a
state.
ARMED GUARDS
Armed troops and policemen
guarded the festivities in Israel's
cities, watchful for possible
disruptions by Palestinian guerrillas.
Dozens of Arabs suspected of
sympathizing with the guerrillas
were held in "preventive custody"
in Israeli Jails, to be freed when
Independence Day celebrations end
Monday evening.
In memorial services for more
than 6,000 Israeli war dead, the
nation's leaders repeatedly warned
of the possibility of more war.
Meanwhile, Premier Golda Meir
and two other top Israeli officials
appeared on a special broadcast of a
U.S. television programme.
Mrs. Mer said that Israel "must
be prepared" to face a possible
Egyptian attack and her foreign
minister, Abba Eban, added, "war
is not inevitable, but neither is it
impossible. Let us prepare for both
contingencies." The two, along
with Deputy Prime Minister Yigal
Alion, appeared on a special
broadcast of the NBC Programme
"Meet the Press" marking the 25th
anniversary.
Asked about statements by
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat,
which the questioner interpreted as
"threatening to shoot," Mrs. Meir
replied:
"There is no sense in Sadat
starting shooting again. But, since
we can t be sure he thinks with our
logic, we must be prepared."
Asked whether Israel had a
nuclear weapon, Mrs. Meir said "we
don't have it."
As to whether Israel would be
willing to give East Jerusalem back
to Jordan in any fu ure peace
settlement, Eban answered:
"Can anything be more squalid
anrdab than to take a city -
especially this city and split It
apart?"
Mrs. Meir declined to be specific
about whether or not she would be
a candidate for re-election in
Israel's October elections. She had
previously said she would not, but
admitted "my friends were very
angry with me" for saying so.
Sunday she would say only "it
would be ridiculous if the party
doesn't know by October or
September or August whether I will
stand for re-election or not."
In Israel, a variety of voices were
heard on the war issue.
"Our enemies still declare
their intention of making war and
annihilating us," declared Yisrael
Yeshayshu, the Speaker of
Parliament.
"If war breaks out, It will be
fought on the enemy'ts territory,"
saId Pollee Minister Shiomo Hillel.

WOUNDED KNEE, S.D. (AP) An agrement for disabmaneut
and further negotiatiom to mnd the 68-day occupation of historic
Wounded Knee by litant Indians was anmased Sunday.

The further discussions are
to involve representatives of
the White House who will
come to the Pine Ridge
Reservation.
Deputy Asst. U.S. Atty.
Gen. Richard Helistern and
American Indian Movement
(AIM) attorney Ramon
Roubideaux, jointly
announced the agreement and
said it is to be effective
Wednesday, beginning at 9 a.m.
EDT. .At that time the
government will remove all
armored personnel carriers,
while occupants of Wounded
Knee are to lay down their
weapons, ammunition and
explosives.
The agreement calls for the
Indians to evacuate their
bunkers and assemble at their
tepee chapel in the village to
surrender their arms to
personnel of the Community
Relations Service (CRS) of the
Justice Department.
The weapons will be
processed by government
officials, and legal weapons will
be returned to their owners
within 24 hours, Hellstern and
Roubideaux said.
CRS personnel will then
divide Wounded Knee
occupants into three groups -
those with outstanding arrest
warrants will be taken to
nearby Rapid City for legal
proceedings; permanent
residents will be allowed to
return to their homes; and all
other occupants will arrange
for transportation for the
reservation.
11 SIGN
The agreement was signed
by 11 Oglala Sioux tribal elders
and by Hellstern, Interior
Department solicitor Kent
Frizzell and Director of U.S.
Marshal Service Wayne
Colburn.
Roubideaux said Dennis
Banks and Carter Camp, AIM
leaders at Wounded Knee since
the start of the occupation
Feb. 27, did not sign the
agreement.
The attorney made public a
letter from Banks saying: "I
have reviewed the agreement,
and find that the document
falls outside the protection of
the U.S. Constitution. I will
submit to the arms laydown
because the chiefs and
headmen have agreed.
"Also, AIM'S job is done
here. It must be understood
AIM was called on to aid these
Oglalas in their struggle against
repressive government forces."
Frizzell said the
disagreement would clear the
way for a meeting between
White House representatives
and Sioux elders on the Pjne
Ridge Reservation "to discuss
and explore the 1868 treaty."
The 1868 treaty, which gave
all land west of the Missouri
River to the Oglala Sioux, has
been stressed by Indians
protesting conditions on the
reservation.
Frizzell said the White
House representatives would be
named shortly, and the
meeting probably will be May
17.
Hellstern also announced the
government would permit the
mother of a slain member of

the occupation force and
about 35 close relatives to bury
Lawrence La mount at
Wounded Knee later aunaay.
The 31-year-old Pine Ridge
resident was one of two
members of occupation force
who died as a result of gunfire
between the Indians and
government personnel.
"The government would
have preferred that the
disagreement take place at a
time sooner than Wednesday,"
Helstern said, "however, Mr.
Roubideaux and the people he
represents wanted additional
time to prepare for bonding
procedures."
Hellstern said he could not
give the exact number of arrest
warrants outstanding against
occupants, but he said the
government anticipates 25-30
cases.
After the occupation ends,
the agreement provides for a
residual force of U.S. marshals
to be at a command post inside
Wounded Knee for an
unspecified time. A force of up
to 40 marshals will be needed
for from two to four weeks to
assure free access and to keep
order, Colburn said.
A determination of when
the marshals can leave will be
up to elected tribal leaders and
Bureau of Indian Affairs
police.
The roadblocks and bunkers
set up by the opposing forces
are to be covered over, the
agreement also said.
WARNING
Hellstern warned that the
government has learned many
things from the occupation,
and said: "I don't think the
pattern of patient negotiation
and renegotation will
necessarily be the same if there
is another Wounded Knee.
"I feel there will be more
Wounded Knees unless the
policies of handling Indian
affairs in this country are
corrected," Roubideaux said.
"It is unfortunate violence
was needed to focus world
attention on the problems of
Indians in this nation. People
at Wounded Knee have
undergone suffering that I
hope will not be in vain," said
Roubideaux, a Rapid City
attorney who is a Sioux from
another tribe.
The AIM attorney said tribal
governments under the Indian
Reorganization Act of 1934
have not been responsive to the
Indian people.

U.S. DIPLOMAT

IS STILL HELD

GUADALAJARA, MEXICO.
MAY 7 (AP) The vigil for
kidnapped 4.S. consul general
Terrance G. Leonhardy entered the
third day Monday after Mexican
authorities fulfilled demands of the
diplomat's abductors.
Mexican state and federal
representatives accompanied by
officials from the U.S. Embassy in
Mexico City awaited in -the
Leonhardy home for further word
from the kidnappers.
A special telephone line was
installed at the home of the
58-year-old consul general Sunday
evening apparently to keep the
Mexican government, in close
contact in case the kidnappers
made direct contact with Mrs.
Leonhardy.
Outside the house, almost 100
newsmen, photographers,
neighbours and onlookers remained
the night.
"We just have to wait now," said
Jalleco State Gov. Alberto Orosco
Romero, "it could be hours or days
Sunday *afternoon 30 persons
Jailed In six Mexican states were
released and flown to Havana,
Cuba, in a Mexican air force plane
to meet the ransom demands of the
guerrilla group that kidnapped
Leonhardy Friday evening as he
drove home. There was no
confirmed report the, kidnappers
had asked for a. cash ransom.
Mrs. Leonhardy, who remained
at home with the couple's two
young daughters, received a
telephone call from the kidnappers
Sunday afternoon saying new
instructions would be phoned later.
By midnight the second call had
not come.
Earlier, Gov. Orozco Romero
received a note written by the
kidnapped diplomat.
"I want to advise you that I am
well and they are treating me well,"
Leonhardy wrote in Spanish.
He added that his kidnappers
promised to release him "at the
proper moment."
"The situation is so delicate we
cannot in any way take any
decision or give out any
information because of the
possibility it could prejudice Mr.
Leonhardy's life," said U.S.
consular official John Dennis in
front of the Leonhardy home.
Mrs. Leonhardy was described by
Gov. Orozco Romero as
"depressed." "She feels she's being
watched," he added.
Leonhardy has spent 30 years in
government service and is scheduled
to retire next year.
The abduction was carried out
by members of the "Armed
!evolutionary Forces of the

uhknpwn terrorist group.

By ETIENNE DUPUCH
(This is the sixth and final article in a series I am writing on the
destructive results of violence and the lust for financial and
political power.)
SATURDAY I told you that when I consulted my brother
about my will ... and I expressed a desire to establish a trust for
The 7ibune that would extend far into the future ... he told me
that the law limits the period during which a man can extend
control over his estate after his death.
I have lived to learn that this is a wise provision of the law,
especially during this period when the world is witnessing a social,
political and economic revolution.
But there is a medium through which a man can project
himself far into the future.
This is possible through the written word, art creations and
musical compositions.
Joseph Addison, who lived from 1672 to 1719, wrote a
collection of Essays under the title The Vision of Mirza.
I read two of these essays when I was a youth and they made a
deep impression on my life. They both created an imaginary
picture of the human story.

In one of his stories he told how an angel descended from
heaven with a great mirror.
He ordered all the people on the earth to parade in front of the
mirror in which was magnified everyone's pet burden.
He then ordered every man and woman to throw on a pile the
one thing in their lives that they would like to be rid of.
A great pile of cast-off burdens quickly piled up in the streets.
Then the angel ordered the people to take from the pile any
burden they preferred to the one they had cast off.
Soon the pile of burdens had disappeared as men and women
went away with a burden of their own choosing from the
collection of human woes.
The next week the angel returned to earth. Once again he
ordered the lpople to 'parade before the mirror which greatly
magnified the new burden each person bore.
He told them to throw on a pile the burden of which they
would like to be relieved.
Each person cast off his new found burden.
For a second time the angel ordered the people to take from
the pile the burden they felt they could bear.

Every man and woman selected from the pile their own
original burden and .ent happily away.
The moral of this story is that the Lord gives to every human
being the burden he is best suited to carry.
It depends on the individual to turn what appears to be a
distasteful thing into something from which he may draw
strength and courage.

The second story was also a picture of life.
It pictured the road of life as being across a great bridge under
which rushed a powerful stream of roaring waters.
The youth of the world crowded around the entrance to the
bridge.
On the far side of the bridge were all the goals to which human
beings aspired.
Hordes of young men jostled for a place on the bridge,
unaware of the many pitfalls that lay in their path.
Early in the rush thousands of young people fall through
invisible trap doors and are carried away into oblivion by the
roaring waters below.
The human line thins as the miles of the bridge are traversed.
Only a very few weary travellers reach the far side and grzsp
the prizes of life.
Still fewer are still walking upright and looking ahead with
clear eyes when they reach the far side.
These few were people who served life and sought no material
rewards.
At the end of the line all men and women finally died ... but
still the approach to the bridge was constantly crowded with
eager, hopeful young faces.

You know something ... no man will despair after he realizes
that the burdens he bears are his. They are a challenge to his
courage. He will conquer or be conquered.
No man can fail when he lives for service to his fellowman. As
long as a man gives of himself to life ... he is fulfilling the highest
purpose of human existence.
So thank God for life ... and the opportunity to serve.

Turgenev once wrote that "life is a brutal affair".
This may be true. But he lost sight of the fact that, without
sorrow there would be no appreciation of happiness; without
darkness there would be no understanding of light.
The greater the sorrow, the greater also the capacity for joy ...
the deeper the darkness, the more brilliant the sunshine when it
breaks through the gloom.
You too can light a candle to help illumine the broadwalk of
life.

Remember always ... life is a game to be played.
Win, draw or lose ... play the game hard. Don't foul, don't
shirk, just play the game and enjoy it, remembering always that
defeat is the blood, bone and sinew from which ultimate victory
springs.
In the words of William Ellery Channing, "life is a fragment, a
moment between two eternities, influenced by all that has
preceded, and to influence all that follows. The only way to
illumine it is by extent of view".

Nothing new in White House scandals

By Stanley Johnson
NEW YORK (4P) From George Washington to Richard M.
Nixon, American Presidents have been plagued by scandals in
their official families which have led to criminal trials, suicides,
unexpected resignations and sudden oblivion.

"Watergate" now joins such
terms as "Mugwump," "Teapot
Dome" and "Influence
Peddler." The scandals all have
involved a grasp for power or a
grasp for money or both.
When Thomas Jefferson
retired as Secretary of State in
1793, Washington appointed
Edmund Randolph of Virginia
as his successor.
Washington had recently
concluded a treaty with Britain
which was violently opposed
by the "French Party" in the
United States. A certain citizen
Fauchet sent a dispatch to
Paris hinting that Randolph
had asked for "a few thousand
dollars."
The British captured the
dispatch, and sent it to
Washington who confronted
Randolph with it. That
gentleman promptly resigned.
Just 10 years later Jefferson,
then President, instigated the
impeachment of Justice
Samuel Chase of the Supreme
Court for malfeasance and
misfeasance in office. Chase
was acquitted and most
authorities agree this
established the independence
of the Supreme Court from
White House control.
The most famous of all
American conspiracies involved
Aaron Burr.
BRITAIN SAID 'NO'
While still Jefferson's Vice
President, in the winter of
1804-05, Burr approached the
British minister and offered to
detach newly-acquired

Louisiana from the United
States for .$500,000 plus the
loan of a British naval
squadron. Britain. deeply
involved in its wars with
Napoleon, said no.
Free of office. Burr
proceeded down the Ohio and
Mississippi selling a project to
conquer Mexico, make himself
emperor and set up the
Louisiana territory as an
independent Republic.
Burr was tried for treason,
but acquitted on the grounds
that his forces had collapsed
before they could damage the
United States.
Newspapers supporting
incumbent federalist John
Quincy Adams printed lurid
details of alleged premarital
relations between Democrat
Andrew Jackson and his wife;
papers supporting Jackson
called Adams' installation of a
billiard table and a chess set in
the White House putting in
"gaining tables and gambling
furniture."
Jackson won.
He went on to appoint
one of his chief campaign
managers Samuel Swartwout,
as, collector of the Port of New
York then the biggest
patronage job at presidential
disposal.
Swartwout stole over $1
million.
Civil war hero Gen. Ulysses
S. Grant was another victim of
his appointees. His confidants
connived with such speculators

Mitchell damns UPI story

by his wife 'ridiculous'

WASHINGTON (AP) Former
Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell said
Sunday his wife's reported
suggestion that President Nixon
should resign because of Watergate
"is ridiculous" and accused the
news service that carried her
remarks of taking advantage of a
personal phone call.
Mitchell's statement, released by
the Committee to Re-elect the
President, from which he resigned
nearly a year ago, was replying to a
United Press International story
reporting on Martha Mitchell's call
to UPI White House correspondent
Helen Thomas on Saturday.
The story quoted Mrs. Mitchell
as saying the President should
resign, retire or "say good-bye" "in
order to give credibility to the
Republican Party and credibility to
the United States."
"I think he let the country
down," the story quoted her as
saying.
Mitchell resigned as Attorney
General to run the Nixon
Re-election Campaign, then left the
campaign two weeks after the
Watergate break-in because, he said,
he wanted to devote more time to
his fandily. His wife publicly called
for him to get out of
politics.
"Martha's late-night telephone

call has been good fun and games in
the past," Mitchell said in his
statement Sunday. "However, this
is a serious issue. I am surprised and
disappointed that the United Press
International would take advantage
of a personal phone call made
under the stress of the current
situation and treat it as a
sensational public statement."
He said his wife "is entitled to
more consideration and courtesy
than that, particularly from a
reporter whom she had considered
a personal friend.
"Any thought of the President
resigning is ridiculous."
Neither the UPI story nor the
former Attorney General indicated
Mrs. Mitchell had asked that her
conversation be off the record. She
has developed a reputation for her
outspoken remarks in telephone
conversations with Miss Thomas
and other reporters.
Mrs. Mitchell had said recently
she wanted to testify about the
Watergate because she could expose
what really happened. But in a
deposition taken by attorneys in a
Watergate-related suit last week, she
said she had no access to
documents connected with the
affair and that her knowledge of
improper conduct was based on
women's intuition.

Government would change the complexion of Bay Street.
In a later speech at a Negro university in the U.S. he said that,
now they had control of the Government they would move in to
control the financial structure of the colony ... a threat which,
indirectly, pointed to Bay Street, centre of the business
community of the colony.
In his position as Minister of Home Affairs, with Immigration
in his portfolio, the Hon. Arthur Hanna succeeded in changing
Bay Street, but not its ownership complexion.
It has now been reported that companies linked to Robert
Vesco, a white American, control many of the major businesses in
the colony.
The Securities and Exchange Commission in the U.S. have
charged in a civil suit, that Vesco and others defrauded $224
million from investors in four IOS funds and an effort is being
made to recover control of this mopey.
Some interesting names in, and connected with, the Bahamas
Government have been linked in recent news stories with the
Vesco ownership in one way or another.

At a recent meeting of the Coral Gables Rotary Club a fine
looking student told of the projects a students club of which he is
the President, undertakes in the service to society.
The present project of his club is to collect donations of books
... for a library in the Bahamas.

I find people surprisingly kind.
Among the friends I have made" since I have been in Miami are
a German couple Mr. and Mrs. Gus Fritz. He is an official at the
church Where we go to Mass every Sunday morning.
A few days ago he told me he wanted to give me a present as
evidence of the esteem in which I am held by himself and his
wife.
It was a silver medal in honour of Dr. Hugo Eckener to
commemorate the first flight of the Graf Zeppelin in 1928.
I imagine that this is a valuable collector's piece.
I asked him how many of these coins he had. He said this was
the only one.
When I protested that I could not accept such a prized gift, he
said that if he had more than this one his gift would have no real
meaning.

experience of working with
children and parents of such
varied nationalities and
denominations has been very
interesting and challenging.
"The spirit of businessmen
and organizational groups has
been most gratifying.
"Our Bishop, the Most Rev.
Paul Leonard Hagarty, our
diocesan school office and
certainly our pastor, Fathe'

encouragingly supported all
our efforts to assist the youth
of our community," Sister
Mary Alice said.
"Our many branches of
Government have contributed
generously throughout my
years to the promotion and
efficiency of our educational
system," she continued.
DINNER
To mark Sister Mary Alice's
anniversary a celebration

dinner will be held in her
honour in the Camelot Room
of the King's Inn and Golf
Club at 8 p.m. On the
organizational committee are
the Rev. Eric St. Clair Clarke,
Mrs. Lilla Gonsalves, Mr.
Wallace Groves, Sister
Jeannine, Mr. Rad Radomski,
Mr. Leslie Woodside and Mr.
Charles Schlakman.
Speaking this week of her
stay in the Bahamas, the tiny
nun remarked that "this
gorgeous climate of sea and sun
has salvaged some of my lost
youth and energized my
activities into programmes and
projects which would challenge
a teenager much less a golden
jubilarian.
"I am grateful," she
continued, "to all our
wonderful Sisters and the
many wonderful lay teachers
who have shared my years of
work in Freeport.
"The deepest thanks I am
capable of expressing are
directed to Almighty God for
the graces and blessings he has
bestowed upon me throughout
these fifty years."
In talking of her early life,
Sister Mary Alice said, 'The
first seven years of my life
were spent on a farm. Some of
my happiest memories were
experienced there. Imagination
and creativity were rooted in
an atmosphere of freedom and
security.
FIRST PRAYERS
"My father taught me the
first prayers I ever knew. When
he played and joined our games
it was the greatest fun. When
he called for obedience he
expected and received it. His
death, October 18, 1914, was a
sad experience which changed
the whole tenor of our lives.
While he lived we had it good.
After his death we knew what
sacrifice meant.
"My mother was a woman
of extraordinary courage. She
embraced the responsibility of
raising eight children: The
oldest was thirteen and the
youngest was two. All the
children were strong, dynamic

discipline from the very
beginning. We not only
respected this authority but,
also loved our mother dearly
for her spirit of devotion and
sacrifice.
"I entered the congregation
of the Sisters of St. Francis.
Mr. St. Claire, Clinton, Iowa on
June 28th 1923. The desire to
serve God by working with
young was my purpose for
entering a religious
congregation.
"I received the habit on
April 24, 1924 and made my
first vows on August 15, 1926.
"In September of 1926 my
teaching profession began".

CAMBODIA CLAIMS SMALL MILITARY ADVANTAGES
PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA (AP)- The Cambodian government
claimed Saturday it hu retaken throe southern villages near Takeo, a key
provincial capital bestoged for months by antigovernment forces.
Those maul victories followed a drive last week by Takeo' defenders to
expand their area of control. The developments indicated government
soldiers were strengthening their position at Takeo, target of months of
around attacks and mortar and artillery barrages by antigovernment forces
encircling it.
Col. Am Rong, spokesman for the Military High Command, mid Phnom
Penh troops recaptured and occupied the hamlets of Russey, Samrong and
Baral, three miles north of Takeo, on Friday morning. He said troops
turned back Communist ground assaults on the southern and western

What s the official Cathe iaolic position onnudity, Abby?
Perhaps the reason for my husband's attitude can be found
there. FRUSTRATED
DEAR FRUSTRATED: There is no Catholic doctrine oan
nudity. Nudity I ebse aatoral state and Is so regarded is

alone, lady. You're doiag well where it counts.
DEAR ABBY: We're a couple of old goats. My husband
is 72 and I'm 70. We're not in the best of health, but we're
not feeble or senile [I hope], and the Lord willing, we will
celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in June.
We want to give a dinner party ourselves and invite our
friends, relatives and a few nealioors, but our married
daughter and aon won't hear of it. THEY want to give the
party and foot the bil.
Abby, we appreciate what the kids want to do, but they
both have families and need their money. We want printed
invitations with a line on the bottom, "No gifts, please."
The kids are having a fit and say, "You just don't do that."
[Abby, we don't need anything] We don't want to make
jackasses of ourselves, but at our stage in life we don't
want more things. Help, please. MIDWEST READER

Gaston B. Means, served as
administration bootlegger
during those prohibition days.
Means later confessed that he
had received bribes of more
than $7 million from the
rum-runners and claimed he
turned it over to Smith. Smith
committed suicide.
When the Teapot Dome
scandal was exposed by the St.
Louis Dispatch, Secretary of
the Interior Albert B. Fall, was
sent to jail for taking $300,000
for the lease.
It's a long way in time and
money from these millions to
the mink coats and deep
freezes of the "mess in
Washington" under President
Harry S. Tnruman.
Nixon was a major
spokesman against these
shenanigans and, in his famous
"Checkers" speech, talked
about his wife's "plain
Republican cloth coat."
SCANDALOUS YEARS
Impetus for the campaign
came from an article in the
now-defunct Look Magazine
called "The scandalous years"
which exposed favours to
convicted criminals and the
"five per centers" who for that
sum persuaded the department
of justice to refrain from
prosecuting various offenders.
These were the famous
"influence peddlers."
Among other things, it was
shown that the wife of a
government official received a
$10,000 mink coat after her
husband approved a loan to a
Florida motel.
The Democrats lost the
1952 election to Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, who was soon
immersed in his own scandals.
These centred about
Sherman Adams, Ike's top
aide, who accepted expensive
gifts from Bernard Goldfine, a
wheeler and dealer, and had to
resign.

your foot on a leather blank
and cuts it out with his
cutting wheel. He does the
same with a composition
blank for the outer sole, and
repeats the sequence for the
other foot. The two parts of
the sole are glued together
after the appropriate slits are
cut for the straps that will
hold the sandal to the foot
are made. The variation in
styles is strictly dependent
on the type of strapping
involved.
One of the most popular and
simple designs is the Key
West, which includes a ring
for the big toe and a single
wide strap over the instep.
The other more complicated
sandals include cross straps
and heel straps and
interlaced straps in a wide
assortment.
"We also have smaller leather
items like barrettes and belts
with an assortment of
buckles," says the friendly
craftsman, "which make
nice Exuma souvenirs."
The finished sandals can be
dyed in light brown, dark
brown or black. The belts
are in the natural yellow of
cowhide or brown or black,
and the barrettes are mostly
dark brown or black.
If the footwear of most of the
people strolling George

street is any indication, Mr.
Cooper's leather shop seems
to be treading the path to
success, if you'll pardon the
nun!

A SIMPLE CUTTING WHEEL clips off the excess leather as endell Cooper fashions
the sole of a made to order sandal. The leather sole is backed by a composite sole and the
appropriate straps are attached in 16 different forms for a wide assortment of the popular
footware.

Jamaica 6-2, 6-4, 6-4, in a Jc
doubles match to take a 2-1 Is

Trinidad then had to win only 7-
one of the reverse singles to
secure the championship for se
the second consecutive year. G
Going into yesterday's
match, Jamaica having won the
toss, chose side and Trinidad
with Price took the service.
After being behind by 40, Pratt
came back beautifully to deuce
and win taking a 1-0 lead in the
first set.
YOUTH v. EXPERIENCE
With the pace set, the young
Jamaican with age in his
favour, controlled a 3-0 lead
before Price threatened and
took two consecutive games.
Although Pratt increased 4-2,
Price with considerable more
experience threw his opponent
on the defence with some short
volleys pulling him out of
position as he went on to win a
convincing seventh game,
which moved the score 4-3 still
for Jamaica.
Pratt however, overcame
those tactics and through some
inaccuracies on Price's part
saw Trinidad fall in the eighth
and ninth game to put Jamaica .
one up.
.* Pratt opened the second set
and ran to a 40-15 lead
winning the first game. Price's
experience again showed in the
second game of the second set
'and although Pratt fought
back strongly to deuce the
game he (ell to two short
volleys. This continued in the
third game which Trinidad
won.
From this, it seemed that
Pratt would not recover and
the favoured Price would take
Trinidad into the
championship when he took d
the second set 6-2. y
Again Trinidad jumped
ahead 3-1 in the third set, but t
steadily and determinedly Pratt a
regained his posture and tied
the third set at four all. In the fi
battle for the advantage, the
score moved to five all the then a
six all before Pratt broke
S through and won two w
consecutive games giving W
Jamaica a 2-1 lead. th
The spark kindled by Price di
early in the round began to
dwindle considerably as he c
lagged 3-0 in the fourth set. M
One game was all he was
allowed and Pratt went on to o
win easily by 6-1, and tie the
series at two all. r
IN CONTROL a
Russell took complete
control of Valdez in the second
M of the reverse singles and
delighted the over 200 fans
with his excellent shots and
accurate placing of balls. With
a fiery service that Valdez
never caught on to, Russell
chipped in eight aces.
Valdez seemed to be getting
himself together midway in the
second set when he held
Russell 40-15. The Jamaican
star however came back,
deuced and took that game.
Although Valdez felt that he
would have done better if the
